Feeling at home does not just rely on the immediate family. It also relies on the community around you. Get to know more about some of the notable characteristics of the locals of Sorsogon!

1. Sorsogueños are religious. Being mostly Roman Catholics, they are active in festivities celebrated throughout the year.
